Privacy Policy

Dog & Partridge


1. INTRODUCTION and IDENTIFYING the CONTROLLER of your personal data 
Star Pubs & Bars Limited and Heineken UK Limited ("we", "us", or "our") are part of the Heineken group. When we mention "we", "us" or "our" in this privacy policy, we are referring to the relevant company responsible for processing your personal data. Unless we inform you otherwise, the controller of your personal data will be Star Pubs & Bars Limited. Where Heineken UK Limited is processing personal data for its own independent purposes (for example in connection with a marketing campaign), that entity will be a separate controller.  
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or our processing activities, we can be contacted as follows:
Mail: 3 – 4 Broadway Park South Gyle Broadway Edinburgh EH12 9JZ, marked for the attention of the Privacy Officer; or 
Emailprotectingyourdata@heineken.co.uk
If you wish to withdraw your consent to receiving marketing communications from us at any time, please email our dedicated email address: 
 MTK-unsubscribe@heineken.co.uk
Amongst other things, this privacy policy covers our processing of personal data in connection with your use of our Just Add Talent pub websites. It is important that you read this privacy policy together with our cookie policy and any terms of use that are presented to you. This privacy policy supplements the other policies and is not intended to override them.  

2. SUMMARY and KEY POINTS you should be aware of 
Personal data is any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. We may receive your personal data directly from you, or it may be given to us by third parties where you have given permission for data sharing or if the information is publicly available. 
We use data for various purposes, including to communicate and manage our relationship with you, protect our business, ensure we comply with laws and to run competitions and promotions. Transparency is important to us, so we would particularly like to highlight the following activities we conduct where we have a lawful basis (see section 6 for more details): 

We may use your data to create a profile of you. We may combine the data that you have provided to us with information from third parties (where you have consented to your data being shared) and publicly available sources in order to better understand your interests. We want to build a profile of you so that we can send relevant communications and market to you more effectively.
We may use your data to send you online targeted advertisements. Based on our profile of you, we may present you with adverts when you browse online. This involves asking a platform to show our adverts to a particular group of individuals, and may involve using data purchased from third parties to help identify relevant audiences for our adverts. 
We may use your data to conduct analytics.  For example, we may track how you respond to the emails we send you. We want to see if the email has bounced and, if not, whether you open our emails and/or click on any content; unsubscribe or mark the email as spam; share the information on social media or forward it to friends. This ensures that we can understand what really interests you and improve our approach to marketing so that you do not receive irrelevant or unwanted emails. It also allows us to use our resources efficiently. 
You have various rights regarding our use of your data, see section 10 for more detail.

3. HOW and WHAT data do we collect about you?
This privacy policy describes how we look after your personal data collected directly when you engage with us including (i) when you visit our websites; (ii) take part in a competition; (iii) attend one of our events or an event/festival that we sponsor; and/or (iv) purchase our products or services (“Engagement”). 
We also collect information indirectly: (a) from Wireless Social where you visit a venue in which we sponsor the Wi-Fi services; and (b) from social media platforms (e.g. Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn) (“Social Media Platforms”), 2nd party vendors (e.g. supermarkets and similar retailers) where you have purchased our products, from database matching partners (see Annex 2 for more details) and from third party data brokers (together “Relevant Third Parties”). Any information we collect indirectly will be from a publicly available source or you will have consented to it being shared.  
We collect different categories of information which we have grouped together as follows:
* Identity Data – name, username, title, place and date of birth and personal characteristics including age and gender;
* Contact Data – email address, delivery address and telephone number;
* Profile Data – preferences, feedback, survey responses and interests including activities noted on Social Media Platforms (for example, your Facebook likes/groups) or collected from other Relevant Third Parties;
* Technical and Usage Data – information about how you use our products and websites including your IP address and details about the devices you use to access our websites. Please review the cookie policy on each website for further information on this;
* Marketing and Communications Data – preferences in receiving marketing and communications from us and information in terms of engagement with email communications;
* Location Data – GPS-based location information from your use of our websites or Social Media Platforms via your smartphone(s), tablet(s) or other devices; 
*Photo and Video Data - photos and/or video footage of you captured when you attend any events hosted or sponsored by us (your attention will be drawn to any photography or filming that is taking place, and your consent will be obtained where required); and
* Inferred Data – which is inferred or derived from the data we collect, for example inferences about your interests based on your Identity Data, Profile Data, Technical and Usage Data or Location Data.

We also collect, use and share Anonymised Data such as statistical or demographic data which is not reasonably likely to reveal your identity (directly or indirectly).  For example, we may receive aggregated usage data detailing the percentage of users accessing a specific website or visiting venues where we supply our products. If we combine or connect Anonymised Data with other data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, the combined data is ‘personal data’ which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy. 

We do not knowingly:

Process any Special Categories of personal data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health or genetics and biometric data). Nor do we process any information about criminal convictions and offences; or
Collect personal data relating to children. We have age verification processes on our websites to ensure we do not market our products or brands to anyone under the age of 18.

4. How LONG will my personal data be used for?
We will only retain your personal data to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider any legal requirements, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means. Criteria used to determine retention periods for specific data collected are detailed further in Annex 1.

5. WHY do we collect your personal data?

We may collect the above categories of personal data about you for the following purposes (more specifically described in Annex 1):
To communicate with you;
To enable you to partake in a promotion and for prize fulfilment purposes;
To market to you;
To conduct market research;
For analytical purposes;
To maintain and optimise our websites; 
To protect our business;
To satisfy our legal and regulatory obligations and co-operate with regulators and government bodies; and
To defend and exercise our legal rights, including in relation to managing actual and potential claims.

6. What is our LAWFUL BASIS for collecting your personal data?

Under data protection laws, we must have a lawful basis under which we process your personal data. We will only use your personal data for the purposes set out in section 5, unless we reasonably consider that we have another appropriate reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the lawful basis which allows us to do so. 

If you provide us with your consent to processing either in connection with your use of our websites, through a Social Media Platform or a Relevant Third Party, you can withdraw it at any time and we will stop the processing activities that were based on consent as a lawful basis. Please note we may still process the data if we have another lawful basis for processing (in most instances, this will be for a more limited purpose e.g. back-up storage or to record a withdrawal). 

Where we need to collect personal data due to a legal or regulatory obligation, or for performance of a contract and you do not provide that data when requested, we may not be able to continue our Engagement with you or perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with products or allow you to participate in competitions). We will notify you of this at the time. 

Further information on the relevant purposes and linked lawful basis are set out in Annex 1.

7. WHO do we SHARE your personal data with?

We may share your personal data with the parties set out below:

a) Internal third parties - other companies in the Heineken group based within the EEA and the UK (but not for any marketing purposes without your consent);

b) External third parties which include:
*communications platform providers (i.e. vendors we use to send and manage email and SMS communications);
*marketing and advertising companies and media agencies for marketing and research purposes, and to provide promotion services, data on-boarding services, research and marketing strategy services; 
* third party providers of Social Media Platforms (including Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn);  
* prize fulfilment agencies;
* IT and system administration service providers (including data storage providers and data management platform providers);
* service providers such as solicitors and accountants;
* regulators, local authorities and government bodies, including the Police and HMRC, to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements or formal/informal investigations;
*courts, parties to litigation and professional advisers where we reasonably deem it necessary in connection with the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and 
* a purchaser or parties interested in purchasing any part of our business (and professional advisors supporting on the transaction).

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. Where the third parties act as processors on our behalf, we only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in line with our instructions.

8. International transfers
Third parties we share data with may be based outside the UK or the EEA. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK or the EEA, we take steps to ensure that the same level of protection is afforded to it by ensuring one of the following safeguards is put in place:
We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission and/or the UK Information Commissioner's Office; and
Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission and/or the UK Information Commissioner's Office, which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe (or the United Kingdom). 

9. How SECURE is my data?

We have put in place reasonable security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know - they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Unfortunately, no transmission of information over the internet can be completely secure, and the security of information depends in part on the security of the computer you use to communicate with us and the security you use to protect account information and passwords. Please take care to protect this information. 
Our websites include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third party websites, plug-ins or applications and are not responsible for their privacy statements. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit and third party service/application that you use.

10. What are my RIGHTS?

You are not required to pay any charge for exercising your rights, although we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is unfounded, repetitive or excessive. We have one month to respond to you (unless you have made a number of requests or your request is complex, in which case we may take up to an extra two months to respond). Please note that, where we ask you for proof of identification, the one-month time limit does not begin until we have received this. If we require any clarification and/or further information on the scope of the request, the one-month deadline is paused until we receive that information.

Annex 2 - MARKETING and PROFILING in more detail

Marketing 
We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. 
We will only send direct electronic marketing (e.g. via emails or SMS or direct social media messages) where:
we have your consent;
you have solicited certain information (for example to receive one-off correspondence in relation to a competition/promotion you have entered or a festival that we are sponsoring); or
you have purchased goods or services from us and you did not opt-out of receiving any marketing where this opportunity was provided to you. 
You can ask us to stop sending you direct marketing messages at any time by contacting us at protectingyourdata@heineken.co.uk.
Where you opt-out of receiving these marketing messages, we will no longer conduct any direct electronic marketing unless you opt-in again at a later point. Please note that where we have another lawful basis for processing, we will continue to process personal data for other purposes – for example, we may process information provided to us in connection with an Engagement on the basis of contract necessity.
You may also receive indirect marketing from us by way of online advertisements or general marketing communications from us. There are various methods we may use in order to indirectly market to you online, as follows: 
1. Contextual advertising on particular types of websites - we buy space on these third party websites and our adverts are shown based on other content displayed on the page: it is not targeted to particular individuals. 
2. Advertising to people signed up with an online platform (such as Facebook or Google) based on what the platform knows about them, e.g. we may ask Facebook to show a particular advert to people interested in beer living in Edinburgh or people interested in certain competitions / events (including festivals). This may involve use of ‘custom audiences’ where we send a list of hashed email addresses of our existing customers (including end consumers) to the online platform, and the online platform then matches these email addresses to users and presents our advertising to them. Hashing is a security measure whereby the information is turned into a code. 
3. Database matching – we securely match the identities of our existing customers (including end consumers) with the customer databases of third parties we partner with such as Channel 4 and Nectar in order to show adverts to the relevant partner’s customers / users that we have in common. To do this, we use a matching company called InfoSum. which uses proprietary technology to match its clients’ data using secure data “bunkers”. Both companies (e.g Heineken and Channel 4) upload data into separate secure bunkers and neither party can access the other’s bunker, nor can Infosum access the raw data in any bunker. The Infosum platform has proprietary controls which allow both Heineken and the partner company to set permissions over their respective bunkers (e.g. to allow it to be matched). Once the data has been matched, the resulting list of matched users enables us to activate our campaign to e.g. the identified Channel 4 viewers or Nectar customers. 
4. Identifying relevant groups of people who aren’t existing customers - we use data purchased from third parties (where you have consented to your data being shared) to identify relevant audiences who our adverts might be of interest to. 
5. ‘Look-alike” / ‘Similar’ audiences, where: (a) we use our “custom audiences” (see point 2 above) to find  a group of people with similar characteristics to our existing customer base; (b) as an expansion of  the activities described in point 3, we ask our database matching partners to identify customers / users that share similar characteristics of those in the target group, such as interests, viewing habits or buying habits – so that we can target them with the same ad campaign so that we reach the right audiences and ensure our marketing efforts are efficient; or (c) as an expansion of the activities described in point 4, we ask third parties to present general social media adverts to individuals that they believe will like our products based on audience data within their platforms so that we reach the right audiences and ensure our marketing efforts are efficient. For the circumstances in (c), we would direct the third parties to target individuals in certain age categories and locations with certain interests. In each case, we only receive anonymised reporting (e.g. number of impressions) and you won’t receive direct marketing from us (e.g. SMS/e-mails) unless you have consented to that. In these circumstances, the platforms and Relevant Third Parties act as a controller. Further information about how the platforms, including Facebook Ireland, process your personal data can be found in their respective privacy policies. 
Profiling
We may use your Identity Data, Contact Data, Profile Data, Technical and Usage Data, Marketing and Communications Data and Location Data, together with Inferred Data, to form a view on what we think you may want or what may be of interest to you and to understand your purchasing trends. We may also use data which has been collected from third parties to enrich the data we hold relating to you in order to build a fuller picture of what may be of interest to you. These profiling activities inform how we decide which brands, products, outlets and offers may be relevant to you. By building a profile of you, we can send you tailored communications and make personalised recommendations, inform you of special offers we think you will be interested in, and customise promotions & special offers that are most relevant to you across a variety of channels.
 
When you visit one of our websites, you can use the cookie banner to accept or reject non-essential cookies, including advertising cookies. If you accept them, these cookies will record information about how you interact with our websites and this information will then be used to serve you with relevant adverts on other sites based on the content that you have clicked on or interacted with. We may use information collected via cookies when you visit our websites and aggregate this with information gathered via the relevant websites to understand your preferences/interests and ensure marketing/remarketing is relevant. Please see our relevant cookie policy on the website you browse when accepting cookies for more detail on this and how to control your preferences.

Please note that whilst we carry out the profiling activities described here, we do not carry out any automated decision-making processes which could have a legal or significant impact on you.
